This hack job is what's really sorry as it's lazy journalism at its finest.

The Chargers were not "blown out"....and in fact, despite playing about as bad as a team can play, they were behind by 7 points in the 4th quarter and actually led by 3 in the third quarter.

I realize due to a history of failure the Chargers are an easy target for talentless hack c rated basement journalists but come on already.

Come on man, the spanoses laid a huge egg......the D never DID show up. Horrible outing and you know it. I'm actually shocked the power ranking only dropped them from 9 to 11.....shoulda been worse. NO D. NO TACKLING. Surely your homer glasses should have seen that. I'll did out the ranking and reason for it....they stressed the 'supposed tough D never bothered to show in the biggest game of the year"............and I warned of it because of the tomato can schedule they racked up all those stats against.

they had a bad day, agree. Inability to tackle hunt is my #1 reason for the loss. inability to cover a fricken dump pass was #2. Rivers was #3.

i don't recall you reporting the Spanoses brought it hard and deep in the many victories. they only lose, someone else wins, is what I take away.

The tomato can schedule you keep speaking of is another myth.

They played NE, Jack, Dallas and Buffalo and lost inexplicably to Jax in a game they had all but wrapped up. Beat the Bills who are a winning team. Beat Dallas badly and Dallas is 8-6. Could have beat NE if not for a phantom illegal pick call and got a 26 yard throw to the EZ down 8 on final play of game.

Other than those games they did what they were supposed to do beating the Giants, Raiders, Broncos, Skins, Browns....ect.

There are no easy games in the NFL.

Fact remains that all this talk of them getting "blown out" by the Chiefs is an unmitigated crock of dogchit

well, they did get blown out by the chiffs. 30 points is a blowout. true, it was there to take as late as mid-3rdQ but the only whistle that counts is the final one and the only score that counts is the final one.

but agree, easy schedule phhht, you can only play who's on the schedule - it matters not.

I could have sworn that you have watched Chargers football before last week. At least I thought so.

Because anyone who's ever watched Chargers football for more than the past 6 weeks should have had as much faith in a Chargers 'comeback' at Arrowhead as I had last week, which was literally less than none.

Also, when you get beat by more points (17) than your team is able to score (13), that's a blowout. Especially since KC wasn't exactly running up the score in garbage time.

Even the 2008 version of yours truly couldn't possibly muster up enough Chargerphiliac homer denial to tell anyone that the Chiefs did anything other than whoop these guys' a**es up and down the field in both meetings this year. And in most of their current 8-game a**-whoopin' streak they've thrown down on us.

Myth according to you. Fact according to the statisticians:http://www.playoffstatus.com/nfl/afcsosag.html
Please note that as of this week your spanoses rank 9th CONFERENCE WIDE in schedule difficulty up to week 17 and 10th for the entire schedule. Please also note that your spanoses rank 22nd in schedule difficulty LEAGUEWIDE thru week 17 and 26th in difficulty for the entire year. The discrepancy between CONFERENCE and LEAGUE rankings is the AFC sucks compared with the NFC. But even by Conference standards your spanoses played a tomato can last place schedule. To make things worse for you factually, you played a bunch of teams that were rendered nearly helpless such as the Cowbowys without their best players on defense and offense, the Bills with a hack rookie who thew 5 picks, and Raiders with Carr the day he came back from a fractured spine, on and on.

Oh and guess what? This statistical analysis is so accurate and unbiased it is updated and revised weekly to account for the teams on a given schedule and how they performed up to that week. Guess where YOUR spanoses ranked in JUST THE AFC 3 weeks ago? DEAD LAST tied with 2 other teams, as far as strength of schedule.

I guess the Bills, Skins and Chiefs bumped them up slightly. But they got lucky and played the Bills with a hack rookie QB and then took on the Skins who had fully given up the fight at that piont. Finally they played a decent team in a huge game and we found out what they really were. They WERE who we THOUGHT they were. Oh wait, who the objective observers thought they were. The delusional homers thougth they'd go no worse than 10-6, not lose another game after they played the Cowboys, and some even thought they were the 3rd best team in the AFC. Some hack named Colin Cowherd had them ranked 4th in the NFL. Ha ha ha ha ha. There is one guy looking to make a name for himself doubling down on a lame horse underdog. I guess when the spanii asked him to be nicer to them he complied.

This is the same old for spanos fans. Get all lathered up by false hopes, kinda like a ship full of scurvy plagued sailors seeing land, and then getting dashed onto the rocks realizing they had no chance and were merely seeing a mirage.

Come on Chuck, you were warned not just by me this year, but thru all your prior years of frustration. Yet you persist each year in going thru this annual masturbation ritual only to be disappointed. Jeebus man. I worry for your sanity.

Do not worry about me. I sleep just fine at night....unlike many of the drama queens around this chithole

You're using injuries as an excuse GillMan for other teams losing? Has that ever softened your stance against the Chargers?

The 0-4 start shouldn't count because the Chargers were without Verrett, Perryman, Forrest Lamp & Mike Williams; & Keenan Allen was coming back from a blown-out ACL.

The loss to KC shouldn't count because once Perryman/Liuget went down, the D couldn't stop the KC offense.
